Adding a Firewire LaCie BigDisk to Linux

Disconnect all attached disks and attach the new disk.

/sbin/fdisk /dev/sdc

This might be sdd etc. if you have additional disks still attached.

Create a new partition with:
n
p

<use default> 1
<use default> all disk
w <write table>

 

/sbin/mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1

mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /backup

file.ps.gz The disk doesn't mount properly after a reboot - resolve this with new CrossOver server.
